‘No Good Deed’ Ending Explained: Creator Liz Feldman Talks “Out-Of-Left-Field Reveal” For [Spoiler’s] Killer And Season 2 Hopes

deadline.com:

SPOILER ALERT: The following reveals major plot points for No Good Deed on Netflix. Two out of the three couples competing for the Los Feliz house in Liz Feldman’s No Good Deed end up getting what they want by the time the finale rolls around.

Just as the layers of the house owned by Paul (Ray Romano) and Lydia Morgan (Lisa Kudrow) are peeled back by three couples very keen to move into the dwelling — JD Campbell (Luke Wilson) and Margo Starling (Linda Cardellini), Dennis Sampson (O-T Fagbenle) and Carla Owens (Teyonah Parris) and Leslie Fisher (Abbi Jacobson) and Sarah Weber (Poppy Liu) — secrets come to light as the process gets tangled up with the dark history of the Derby Drive home.

About midway through the series, viewers learn that Lydia and Paul’s son Jacob (Wyatt Aubrey) died in a tragic sequence of events one night after he tried to correct some of his wrongs.

Jacob had been stealing objects from neighbors, and at first, it looks like Paul and Lydia’s daughter Emily (Chloe East) was responsible for his death because she grabbed a gun and shot him, thinking that he was trying to break into their house and not realizing who he was.
